That's a beauty 27-2 Sailor, your going to love it. I only have one 8 3/8" S&W, a really nice 686, and while I really enjoy shooting it, I still prefer the 6" guns for the balance and feel in my hand. If you do decide you must just have a Model 19 as well, PM me...I've got 3 mint blue 6", and a son who is probably going to be playing U-18 hockey in Phoenix this year...I'm thinking I will have to sell a few of my collection to help bankroll him.
